3. Installation

1. Turn off power at connected sources

2. Connect the HDMI® extension cable between the source

and the “HDMI® IN” port of the SoloCAT HD™

3. Connect the HDMI® cable between the display and the

“HDMI® OUT” port of SoloCAT HD™

4. Connect the CAT.5 cables between the HDMI-ELW “LINK”

port and the HDMI-SRW or HDMI-ERW “LINK” port of

extender.

5. Connect the power cord and turn on the extender.

6. Turn on the source(s) and display(s)

Note: when the SoloCAT HD™ is in BYPASS mode the LINK

port should be left unused.

7. Use CAT5e/6 cables to link the transmitter and the receiver.

As in all installations, poor quality cable will result in lesser

quality results and occasionally intermittent problems. However,

in our testing we used off the shelf CAT5e cable from Home

Depot® which worked fine and provided an outstanding result.

Zektor recommends using EIA/TIA 568B for CAT5e/6

termination. We have included a reference diagram below for

your convenience.

8. Make sure that the source, the transmitter, the receiver and

the displays are all properly connected. Zektor has designed

and manufactured a new HDMI cable support bracket, the

Zektor Gripper™, to help ensure that your HDMI cable remains

properly connected to our transmit / receive pair.

9. Connect your serial cables if using the bi directional serial

function.

10. Properly install your IR blaster and sender. Incorrect

installation can damage your SoloCAT HD™ extender pair. If

TX/RX (transmit & receive) are mistakenly connected in the

wrong connections, the IR eye can get damaged. 3rd party IR

emitters/blasters, must be able to handle up to 60 KHz 1-

Note: After initial power on, allow for EDID verification and

HDCP handshake. A visible image at the display after initial

power on can take up to 5 seconds.
